Well how it goes for me is i played about 100 times(boss killed) i got the pet on my 5th run sold it for 3,8mil and am still trying to get few more. My standard team is Galeb@30,Phoera@30,Hunting Hawk@30 and Skeletal dog@30. Almost rdy with my second team Cat@30,Neverember Guard@30( atm 25 gona make him 30 soon),Fire Archon@30, and Sly Kobold(still to be bought and upgraded might take 3-4 days )will be last. Kinda getting borred of sca since i did so many runs and most of the time i know which path leads me to the stairs so i can finish it rly fast and at some point i couldnt even refil stamina dunno maybe i filled the monthly quota so i cant play 100 more games this month. so far no patern on getting the pet i got mine at 00:03 jan 1st so maybe i gota w8 till next year for new one anyway ur guide is rly good and i hope it helps ppl that need help with SCA.little tip to ppl that wanna sell the pet when they get it dont post it for 7.5mil starting bid no one is gona bid and ull be short 150k posting fee cheers all and happy hunting
Been runiing with galbe, rust, aranea and lvl 30 ion stone of alure.. so far i cleared dungeons with 90% sucess rate.. killed red dragon, draco, malabog some with and others .. so far i did not get the thief... I have been running it non stop for the past 4 days.. Seems it really worth it to buy for 5m or up if u have the AD coz running 6-8 times a day and not playing at all is sooo boring..
4 days + 9 days hmmm= 13 days so... started with 6 runs a day now i think i do 9 max a day..... I havent played the conetent forquite some time... did 2x DD for the past days and dailies only... seems i get no thief.. prolly im little shy under the 100 runs like some people did.. i know ill get there...
Question if anyone really gona read this....those who wer lucky enough to get 1...
Q: DID u get the special companion pack that was promo with all comapnions???
Its just i would like to know if there are any people who did not buy the specila COmpanion pack that got the "Light foot thief".
OK got MY light Foot thief... CLose to 1 MOnth of non stop SCA... i would like to share some info where i got it and hope it helps...
GOt my light foot from molly redstone using my galeb.... i Use aranea purple ion rust monster and glabe for the run....
I did not need to finish the whole dungeon when igot it.
I did not buy the companion pack that gives the companion at 50% price...
I havent both zen on my accnt coz this is my alt...
GL to you all who wants to search for it.. but its bit hard...really really hard... prolly im over 100 runs already.

Is it worth it to upgrade my Ion Stone of Allure to 30? I've also got a Sprite, a Mystic Pheora and a Wererat Thief (from Drake seal trader) in my party (leveling the thief and the Sprite, so I haven't run a lvl 6 yet). Any suggestions on a fourth member? I thought about picking up Galeb but I'm not crazy about his buff since I'm a CW running decent Life Steal, I', typically topped off while running around (minus a decent boss fight).
It is actually possible to do it with only two epic pets and two blue ones, but it takes a lot of careful management, planning, and strategy, with a ~40-50% success chance to kill the boss. Wererat for thievery challenge is mandatory. Something like ioun stone + wererat + rust monster + sprite should work. I'm currently not using my ioun stone but my lvl 20ish pseudodragon, and imo blue stone is better, so don't be shy and give it a try. My tip is to reroll as much as you can, until you get the perfect dices. Don't try to fill as much as you can, taking risks is the best ways to play SCA with subpar pets. Even if you have a matching dice but you still need something else from that dice, just reroll and hope dices give you a better combination.
eg: if i need 4 perception and 6-7 thievery, and if the per/thievery wererat dice gives me 2x thievery, i will probably not use it, just because it's statistically harder to get per on this pet (like, no way the brown default dices give you magically 4 per next roll). Well, you got it, do the maths every time, know your pets and dices, and never play safety.

I actually won a Knights of the Feywild pack! So, now I have another purple pet.
hmmm runing with a blue ware rat is really hard.... sometimes the key battles reach to 9.. and mostly some battles need a better balance one as JOker in a deck of cards... Turning it to purple beats the purpose at all... the damge it self is not so benficial...
As for success rate of all 30 lvl team 90-95% to finish the dungeon... but i run aranea for magic... stone of alure for star.. galeb for shields/atk and rust monster for a joker for 1 liner chalnges.... almost all boss batlles i use my galeb . with a few exception like green dragon w/c i use my ION stone of alure... NOw i pumped my Light foot thief to 30% and replacing it with my rust monster i have harder rate finishing dungeons coz my magic suffered greatly on challenges,,,
There rooms filled with one pecefic type of challenge makes u go back and forth through floors.. rust mnonter evens it out...
when i feel the dungeon has key challenge having purple allure is also i used. rust monster as my back up...
than going in my light foot thief in dungeons...
just get a 1 of evry kind and ull be fine... it wrks for me... i do 6-9 runs a day depends on how much in the mood im in.. smetimes more.... so i dnt say this lightly.. Glaeb is most important for Final boss challenges... is can find another stats like galeb with a better active go for it... but as far as i know and the cuurrent roster of comapanions galebs is the only puplr epic that has 4 atk/shield dice... w/o upgrading from blue.
Yeah...don't have a single rank 30...nor a 25....going to be LONG time before I can even think of touching that rank 6 =(. But a very informative post, thanks.

I have barely scratched the surface with SCA yet, out of curiosity if one didn't care about time/cost of leveling companions etc what would likely be the best all around group for tier 6 completions? I see you put together a list based on decent active bonuses etc but what if one didn't care about their bonuses and was thinking strictly for SCA. Looks like fun, nowhere near to having the pets to do this yet though
I was writing a longer reply, but the forum ate it.
Basic gist: As long as each companion has a different focus (Combat, Perception, Thievery & Magic) and has unlocked all dice (Rank 26+, ie. purple quality) you should be able to tackle Tier 6 most of the time. You do not need the absolutely best in each category to win most of the time, but for each category you should have at least one companion with 3 dice.
The absolutely best (that are already purple) for each category would be:
Combat: Galeb Duhr
Thief: Book Imp (good luck getting this one, it requires a lot of Foundry achievements, both community & author)
Magic: Angel/Aranea/Lillend/(Mystic) Phoera/Sylph
Per: Sprite
If you're willing to spend 750k AD, upgrading one of the blue Thieves (or the Hunting Hawk from the ranger pack) would be a perfect substitute for Book Imp. The other main options for thievery are the HotN Panther and Guardian Dire Wolf.
Upgrading a Neverember Guard can let you substitute for the Sprite, but that'll cost more overall (comparing AD:Zen ratio and purchase costs).
Pseudodragon, Honey Badger & Dire Wolf can sub for Galeb Duhr. Fire Archon & Will-o-Wisp can work as Magic as well.
The team I'm using is:
(C)Galeb Duhr
(T)Dire Wolf
(P)Sprite
(M)Will-o-Wisp
Take a look at the dice list at the bottom of the SCA on Gateway page.
2x Rust monster (paid 487k AD)
1x Stone of Allure (1200 Zen+750k AD)
1x Fire Archon (Trade Bars, Had enough saved on my original CW from old boxes)
Success Rate on Tier 6 has been 100% with around 85 runs. I actually regularly finish with only one or two health missing.
Payoff- No Thief Yet... but I have made over 200 gold, enough enchantments to refine an Artifact to purple, and a large supply of Buff Potions and Crafting Supplies.
wow 2 rust monster.. i did not know u can double up on a comapanion.... SInce my last post i havent stop playing sca.. 6-9 runs a day and sometimes more. i got my 1st thief exactly at feb 10... its been 1 month passed working on the second so i can return my invest ment....
Can some 1 tell me if any of u guys got 2x thief already. for this year..
IF not this year for the whole time u played SCA...
Coz im thinking hey might have limited it for 1 thief per acnt or something...(for this year)
I'm using Phoera / Lillend Healer / Wererat Thief (from Seals) / Jagged Dancing Blade (from Glory) at the moment and I have around a 70% winrate for the t6 dungeons. 2 of those are still level 25. Still, after a ton of runs, I'm yet to get the lightfoot thief. Anyone have any ideas on what the droprate is?

Considering the amount of time i've spent doing SCA, I think it's more likely to win the grand prize at the national lottery than the blue pet.
Jokes apart, it's probably under 1%.

Gave up a long while ago. Stopped counting runs at 80 or so. Tried a few more day for nothing. Now I just roll the dice for daily, SCA is dead for me.
As usual in this game, rewards are scarce. We wouldn't want players to get spoiled, wouldn't we. After all, this game is more work than fun.

To offer a different view, you don't need the Lightfoot Thief to access any content and there needs to be something for those who want a long term goal. No, I don't have the thief and I'm not going to grind for it either, but goals like that are important for a certain section of the playerbase.

Yes, there should be long term goals.
Such as defeating that amazing dragon with billion HP points and lots of mechanics, where you need flawless choreography from 20-ish players to make it out alive of the 30 minutes epic fight, which rewards you with items one can even dream of.
from my experince its 4 purples specializing in Magic and Theivery. Most straight shield challenges can be bypassed and the perception ones are for the most part only on chests.
